Sessions: House GOP Is On the Verge Of Breaking 2014 Campaign Promises
National Review Online ^ | December 2, 2014 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 12/02/2014 3:21:34 PM PST by Timber Rattler

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) suggested that House Republicans are on the verge of breaking their campaign promise to fight President Obama’s administrative amnesty, as evidenced by the legislative text currently being circulated.

Sessions said that the proposed language “fails to meet [the] test” established by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, who promised earlier this year that the GOP would do everything possible to thwart Obama’s executive orders.

“The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants—reducing wages, jobs and benefits for Americans,” Sessions said in the statement expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of a House Republican conference meeting.

Come 2016, these two will again be members of the minority party.

They really don't care.

We elect conservatives, and they turn around two weeks later and elect pansy ass losers into leadership. We’re five years on in this majority next year, and not one conservative has the balls to challenge these people.

Yeah, this is a shocker.

Who could have foreseen such an unlikely thing?

Once again our gallant knight in shining armor sounds the alarm ! Talk about a voice crying in the wilderness. Is this one man the only being in Washington that gets it?

The only thing electing the GOP results in is that King Obama floors the gas and the GOP fills the tank for him.

We are are out of option altogether.

Yes.

Elections are without consequence, because our representatives do not care at all what their purpose is or, why they were sent there.

Representative government is a failure.

And it is Hell bent on destroying this country.

We had best get creative, or we are done.

Discussing the next election is utterly pointless.

I can see how the GOPe deal went...

GOPe - we can’t pass the amnesty and get re=elected, the tea party will oust us.

BO - i will do it with an EO, and you put on a show of resistance

GOPe - ok but you have to promise that we (GOPe leadership) run unopposed in the next election

BO - Deal! , but you can’t let the tea party beat take any more seats, either you beat them in the primary, or you concede the seat.

GOPe - ok, you got it.

>>Maybe it’s time the rest of us jumped on this rioting bandwagon<<

Tell ya what, I think you may be on to something. A few congressional elections ago, congress promised before the election to build a border fence. After the election, I mean within a couple of weeks or so, the news reports came out that congress voted not to appropriate the funds to build the fence they promised the American people.

This is happening over and over again. When is enough, enough? The American people are being sold out.

Our own government is ignoring the law, disregarding our founding documents, spying on law abiding Americans, militarizing local law enforcement, placing foreign interest ahead of American citizens, breath taking fiscal mismanagement that is bring this country to ruin. How many scandals? How many Americans have to die?

Almost all of the economic data released from this gubbamint has been massaged, altered to deceive the American people. We have known forged documents on government websites, lies/half truths over and over again.

Our government utilizing executive agencies like the IRS, BATF, BLM, EPA, OSHA, FBI to silence and or intimidate innocent Americans whose only crime is a differing opinion.

This is not the America I grew up in. A soft tyranny at best, a 1984 scenario at worse.
